Old dad, fortunate husband, nonprofit marketeer, jaywalker, viajero, Chicagoan by way of many places.
Same goes for someone at Walter Reed. It’d ruin their life though.

For 10 years we’ve been subjected to a screaming 24/7 wall of TRUMP, every screen, every paper. Admiration and validation are his heroin. Imagine the constant cascade of dopamine flooding his brain. I want that taken from him. I hope there are enough decent Americans left to make him irrelevant. 2/2

I’m cynical and don’t think Trump will ever pay a consequence like jail. But this is bigger than him. It’s a conspiracy to protect powerful people. I hope they all pay a price, and that Trump is one of them. If he’s impeached again, he’ll likely die of old age or go to memory care before prison. 1/2

My son’s in 1st grade, LOVES reading and math. Got all A’s! We took him out for ice cream, congratulated him. But he has also grown emotionally (empathy, self-control) so much the past few months. We’ve told him how proud we are. This note from his teacher moved me far more than his report card.

Dementia Grandpa Presidency. My 6-year-old gets more embarrassed when I praise him.

Hmm, that’s nice, maybe sing Kumbaya. Anyway, here’s a pic photojournalist Armando Sanchez took for the Chicago Tribune of a fed pointing a gun at him in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood on Saturday, during one of their many attempts to terrorize people and try to ignite mayhem.

Hi, longtime constituent here. Called your office but couldn’t leave a voicemail. If you, as is being reported, vote yes on this non-deal to end the shutdown, your legacy will be: Durbin the coward. Durbin the dupe. Durbin the sellout. Read the room.

If you had $1 billion, you could give away 99% of it and be a hero, leaving you with $10 million. You could live quite well $700K/year) off a 7% return.

Most of us are happier than these billionaires. They’ll never be able to just walk down a street, get a beer with a pal, pet a random dog, rub shoulders with fellow humans. I can see how having a few million would be great, but a thousand million? Isolation, self-importance, paranoia, misery, ruin.

Yeah, my spouse is from Spain. High income tax plus 2-3.5% wealth tax, plus ROTH IRA withdrawals are taxed.

Yep. People seem to think that saying he has dementia is akin to absolving him. I tell them plenty of assholes get dementia. Some studies have shown malignant narcissists are more prone to it. Weekend at Bernie’s at 1600 Pennsylvania. Zealots like Miller and Vought have a closing window.

My wife teaches Spanish at a CPS high school. Half the kids in her Heritage class (grew up in Spanish-speaking homes), aren’t attending out of fear or to help family who are hiding. One of her kids is Venezuelan, bussed here like livestock by Gov Abbott, then made “illegal” when Trump revoked TPS.

In Chicago we have the beloved Italian Beef, dipped. A large beef sandwich soaked in hot au jus, so the thing weighs like three lbs and would make a splat sound (and a big mess). It definitely wouldn’t bounce and stay intact.

Motherfucker, my kwh are down vs. last year but the total’s $50 higher. Everything’s more expensive. Your shutdown may ruin Thanksgiving. Your paramilitaries gassed a street in my neighborhood, ruining a kids Halloween parade. Yesterday they stormed a day care. Fuck all the way off.

Getting the public used to videos (AI or not) they can edit and control as his dementia progresses.
